Chicken Saltimbocca With Lemon Sauce (TBT)


My husband picked tonight's throwback meal.  It was never a super favorite of mine, but I do like it.  Ok, it's my issue with chicken, I admit it.  Everyone loved it, I am the only particular one that had an issue.  It isn't hard to make and the lemon sauce is really great.   Get a baguette and a salad and you are done.

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
8 large fresh sage leaves
8 Slice prosciutto (about 3 ounces thinly sliced)
